Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome
Description: In this episode, we will explore ideas such as: We rejoice and give thanks for the work of God in His Church, who brings life to the world. We are reminded of our role as a dwelling place of God. We must understand how valuable we are and care for our bodies. We must remember the purpose of our temples is the same as the Temple itself, to be a dwelling place of God and a place of prayer, drawing people to God and bringing healing and love to the world.
